Is jiggling a door handle sufficient to constitute an attempted burglary?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Aaron, A144909 (Cal. App. 2018):
attempted burglary. His attempting to turn the door handle on a locked outer door was sufficient to constitute an attempt. Jiggling a window is enough to support an attempted burglary conviction (People v. Goode (2015) 243 Cal.App.4th 484, 487), and jiggling a door handle stands on the same footing.
